I spent all the money I had in my pocket I guess nobody else could stop this The way I felt about you was illuminating and and oh so true But I wanted something I couldn't have And I wanted it oh so bad there is nothing I wouldn't do Oh yeah there is nothing I wouldn't do So tell why I got into a mess Trying to pay off all of your debts When I barely knew you Yeah I barely knew you Cos you took me on the date of my life You bought me chips and cheese at the end of the night You took me dancing and to see a movie I couldn't fault you You did everything right You took me everywhere I desired You gave me things that set my heart on fire I couldn't have asked for anything more Cos you took me on the date of my life Chips and cheese and a little bit of love Chips and cheese and a little bit of love Chips and cheese and a little bit of love Chips and cheese and a little bit of love what was the thing you wanted the most? It was always your proudest boast that you could have anyone you wanted until you came along I was a lost cause But it doesn't mean what you think it does It just means it was love at first sight But after a while I went love blind Oh I went love blind Cos you took me on the date of my life You bought me chips and cheese at the end of the night You took me dancing and to see a movie I couldn't fault you You did everything right You took me everywhere I desired You gave me things that set my heart on fire I couldn't have asked for anything more Cos you took me on the date of my life Cos you took me on the date of my life Cos you took me on the date of my life

Abyss 02:56
How do you survive when you are living in the shadow of the constant sorrow? How do you start again when you've made so much big mistakes they reign over you? And how to do learn to live with the bitter disappointment and the burn when you've got no where left to turn to? And how do you learn to love again when all trust has been taken away, from you? Reach out Reach out Is there anybody else that feels like this? Reach out Reach out Is there anybody else that feels the abyss? We are all the walking wounded trying to hide our bruises but we cannot just forget Even in our brightest day there is always a little pain that lingers on Reach out Reach out Is there anybody else that feels like this? Reach out Reach out Is there anybody else that feels the abyss? Reach out Reach out Is there anybody else that feels like this? Reach out Reach out Is there anybody else that feels the abyss? Feels the abyss Do you feel the abyss? I can feel the abyss Can you feel the abyss? Reach out Reach out Is there anybody else that feels like this? Reach out Reach out Is there anybody else that feels the abyss?

Losing You 04:05
I never have the words right words to say to make things better to explain I never have the time time to spend with you life stands in my way it's all work and no play I never had the strength to just say how I really felt Your tears were wasted on me As they roll down your cheek Oh I know I'm losing you Oh yeah I know that I'm losing you oh I know I'm losing you I never had the warmth the warmth I need I stood on the outside dreaming of you and me I never stood a chance a chance to make you mine I couldn't negotiate even though you were the prize so I learned to be content content on my own But I loved you so much I wish things were different Oh I know I'm losing you Oh yeah I know that I'm losing you oh I know I'm losing you oh I know I'm losing you Oh yeah I know I'm losing you

All I know is I'm looking forward to seeing you again I'll be waiting at the station for you coming in It's been a long time I've thought about you every single day we've been parted I'd almost forgotten how gorgeous you are you are the prettiest creature I've ever seen you are the sweetest vision I'll ever see you are the prettiest creature I've ever seen you are the sweetest vision I'll ever see I don't wanna be without those cherry sweet kisses and the way you wake me with those kisses I can't live without that voice, soft like velvet on my ears, and that smile that illuminates suffocating all my fears oh you are the prettiest creature I've ever seen you are the sweetest vision I'll ever see you are the prettiest creature I've ever seen you are the sweetest vision I'll ever see I don't know how I could live without your attention I wanna have the monopoly on your affection the way you make me feel is so sublime You make me feel alive I'm trying to take it one day at a time so please don't rush me please you are the prettiest creature I've ever seen you are the sweetest vision I'll ever see you are the prettiest creature I've ever seen you are the sweetest vision I'll ever see

I want love I want loving Don't burden me with complications Ain't no difficulties just trying to make it clear where we stand Ain't no desire for tying down Ain't no time for love ties what you need is a little love I can give you that tonight Turn the lights down low turn the music up high let me love you tonight Turn the lights down low turn the music up high let me love you tonight A fumble in the dark won't break your heart it'll make you feel alive A fumble in the dark won't break your heart it'll make you feel alive Am I giving out mixed signals? I suppose I like you more than I let on But you gotta understand where I'm coming from Love can cause so much pain if it's done wrong So consider this an audition I want you to show me what you got Turn the lights down low turn the music up high let me love you tonight Turn the lights down low turn the music up high let me love you tonight A fumble in the dark won't break your heart it'll make you feel alive A fumble in the dark won't break your heart it'll make you feel alive Turn the lights down low turn the music up high let me love you tonight Turn the lights down low turn the music up high let me love you tonight A fumble in the dark won't break your heart it'll make you feel alive

I felt myself come tumbling down So this is how rock bottom feels I must confess I let myself down Cos piece by piece you de-assembled me Well the long and short of it is that we weren't meant to be You used your words as weapons and you destroyed me so it's a new start for me I need a clean slate Did I try so hard for you that I got lost on the way? Piece by piece I will build myself up from the foundations again Brick by brick I will set myself up to never be taken down again Piece by piece I will build myself up from the foundations again Brick by brick I will set myself up to never be taken down again Ain't no easy way I have to try start again Piece by piece I will build a new me Such hostility and affliction It's not for me I want somebody who will love me Not tear me apart piece by piece So I'm gonna make myself my number one priority oh I'm gonna make myself my number one priority My number one priority Piece by piece I will build myself up from the foundations again Brick by brick I will set myself up to never be taken down again Piece by piece I will build myself up from the foundations again Brick by brick I will set myself up to never be taken down again

Didn't mean to break your heart Didn't think I could for a start Didn't think you meant those I love yous They always sounded just like strategy Didn't mean to make you cry To be honest I felt you were never mine Guess it ain't what it looked like Cos it was me that took you for a ride Didn't mean to break your heart Thought I had thought of everything But the one thing I didn't expect was that you could love me back Didn't mean to break your heart Didn't think I could for a start Didn't think you meant those I love yous They always sounded just like strategy Didn't mean to make you cry To be honest I felt you were never mine Guess it ain't what it looked like Cos it was me that took you for a ride It was me that took you for a ride It was me that took you for a ride Didn't mean to break your heart Never thought I could be so cruel But I hold my hands up high I surrender for what I did to you Didn't mean to break your heart Didn't think I could for a start Didn't think you meant those I love yous They always sounded just like strategy Didn't mean to make you cry To be honest I felt you were never mine Guess it ain't what it looked like Cos it was me that took you for a ride

I've been trying real hard to impress you But all I seem to do is set myself up for a fall I set myself up for a fall every time I open my mouth I've been trying to get you to be my baby so long that I've forgotten how it feels to play nice Love me or hate me take me or leave me it's alright Love me or hate me take me or leave me it's alright Don't judge me but if you think you're above me that's just fine That's alright That's alright Baby I am dodging bullets just to be with you Don't you see what you are doing to me? Baby I am dodging bullets just to be with you Why do you do this to me? I've been trying to dodge a bullet ever since we met But I know it's got my name on it I'm under no delusions I know what I'm getting into I know the risks and I know the price too Baby I am dodging bullets just to be with you Don't you see what you are doing to me? Baby I am dodging bullets just to be with you Why do you do this to me?
11.
All the lights flicker and the music explodes on Feelings can be so limiting Don't you wish you were free from them? Free not to feel any pain just pure pleasure What is your poison? It's now or never Love me tonight like I am the right one Baby I know that I'm losing you But I just wanna feel pleasure tonight Baby I know that I am losing you But I just wanna make you mine tonight Feel the electricity feel the thunder of this passion Wear no disguise, show me the real you Love me like this is your last night live, feel so alive, let the music drive you oh let the music consume you Baby I know that I'm losing you But I just wanna feel pleasure tonight Baby I know that I am losing you But I just wanna make you mine tonight Let me show you pure pleasure
